Ricky’s Nashville Favorites
Music City Insider Guide
Nashville is more than just neon lights and honky-tonks. It’s a city of hidden speakeasies, world-class culinary experiences, and neighborhoods bursting with Southern charm.
Don't just go where the tourists go. As your local private driver, I can take you to the spots the locals love—
12 South Shopping District
Shop the Boutiques, skip the parking
Home to Reese Witherspoon’s Draper James and White’s Mercantile, 12 South is a shopper's paradise. But the parking lots are notoriously overcrowded and tight.
Don't waste your afternoon circling for a spot. Let us handle your bags while you grab a coffee and shop at your own pace while your private car waits nearby.
